Synopsis:

This play is a farce set in London in the 1970s. It involves an order for a pyramid selling scheme that turns out to be very different than expected – and the whole mistake escalates from there. It involves lots of packages, many doors, various people appearing and disappearing through them, a faulty kitchen hatch and the arrival of two very unexpected young ladies.
